BRIT BOMBER NAMED British ISIS fighter who blew himself up in Mosul attack is ex-Guantanamo detainee who was awarded £1million compensation by UK Government

A BRITISH ISIS fighter who blew himself up in a suicide attack on Iraqi troops in Mosul is a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who the UK Government lobbied to release — before handing him a £1MILLION compo.

Fiddler had been held in Guantanamo Bay after US troops captured him in Afghanistan — but he was released two years later and handed £1million by the UK Government

The Manchester-born terrorist, 50, had been gifted a seven-figure taxpayers’ sum after being released from the infamous US detention centre in 2004.

It followed a high profile campaign by the then Labour Home Secretary David Blunkett for him to be let out — just two years after he was captured by US troops in Afghanistan.

Al-Harith was given a massive compensation payout before travelling to Syria to fight with ISIS

Mr Blunkett said at the time: “No one who is returned… will actually be a threat to the security of the British people.”

The dad-of-five had denied being an extremist, claiming he had been a Taliban hostage when he was picked up by American soldiers in Kandahar and taken to the high security prison in Cuba.

But after his release he fled the UK to fight in Syria as militants swept across the region in 2014.

It was only revealed he had gone to join ISIS when his British wife Shukee Begum fled the territory having failed to convince him to come home.

Who was Jamal al-Harith?

MUSLIM convert Jamal al-Harith was freed from the infamous US detention centre in 2004 after then-Home Secretary David Blunkett campaigned for his release.

At the time of al-Harith’s release from Guantanamo Bay, Mr Blunkett, said: “No one who is returned…will actually be a threat to the security of the British people.”

The ex-Labour cabinet member initially opposed the return of British Guantanamo Bay detainees.

He wanted the captives tried in American civil courts because he feared trials in the UK could collapse because of the conditions they were held in, in the United States.

When al-Harith was released in 2004, he was repatriated to England and released without charge.

Chilling footage of his attack shows a pack of suicide cars stuffed with bombs and encased in armour travelling near Mosul.

It later shows another fighter cheering before he shuts the driver-side door and pulls off.

Moments later giant clouds of smoke can be seen in the distance.

At least two of the jihadis managed to reach a base west of the city where they detonated their explosives — killing and injuring a number of troops, the Iraqi soldiers said.

The extremists later released a statement saying: “The martyrdom-seeking brother Abu Zakariya al-Britani — may Allah accept him — detonated his explosives-laden vehicle on a headquarters of the Rafidhi army and its militias in Tal Kisum village, southwest of Mosul.”

His brother Brian Jameson told The Sun: “Ronald’s a good bloke. He’s kind and caring — nothing like the man who would do this.

“I know he had become more extremist over the years but I spoke to him a few months back and he seemed just like the brother I knew. I’m devastated.”

The end of his fighting name — al-Britani — is commonly used by ISIS to identify jihadists from Britain.

But the Foreign Office has said due to the nature of the conflict it is unable to fully verify dead Brit fighters.

A spokesperson told The Sun: “As all UK consular services are suspended in Syria and greatly limited in Iraq, it is extremely difficult to confirm the whereabouts and status of British Nationals in these areas.”

It is estimated that about 850 British citizens have fled the country and travelled to Syria or Iraq to join the terror group.

Iraqi forces have been waging war with ISIS fighters in Mosul since last October, when a massive US-led offensive was launched to re-capture the terror stronghold.

Armored suicide cars. Should equip the troops with anti-tank weapons or similar weapons so they can hit such vehicles before they get close enough in range to do any damage.

Obama’s at fault here to.

Mahou Shoujo

Another example of the britishstinian government paying financial rewards to muslims fighting as muhadajeen, for non muslim solders, claw backs on their wages and pension. Once again sing “drool britannia, you’ve sunk beneath the waves”.

“All they need is dumb dumb, Dumb is all they need.” To Beatles tune.

Mahou Shoujo

dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
There’s nothing muslims do that isn’t dumb
Nothing your profit says that isn’t dumb
Everything you say is talk real dumb
How to be real dumb
It’s islamic
Nothing you can make isn’t dumb
No one you can save isn’t dumb
Nothing you can do, but you can learn
How to be muslim dumb
It’s easy.
All you need is is the qur’an
All you need is shari’a, shari’a, shari’a
dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
All you need islam, all you need is hate
All you need is hate. Hate is all you need
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown in the qur’an to be dumb
islam’s nowhere…

Its a hit! These are lyrics we will unfortunately never see sung by anti everything but them celebrities. They may talk a good game about muslims but somehow they don’t feel an urge to book concerts in the mid east. I think if the beatles were still playing they might not be as naive with some of their words.

Sorry, britainistan, you let them, they murder you and you reward them. You can’t fix stupid.,,especially british stupid.

Those who release terrorist, need to face the same horror that the released terrorist does

Home Secretary David Blunkett is as much an agent in the service of Evil as Jamal al-Harith was.

He just has a better tailor.

If there were justice, Blunkett would meet a similar end.

Chalk another one up to Obhammud who opened the gates to Gitmo and let this human garbage free to continue their murderous ways. Do you suppose he released the inmates down to double digits from what he inherited from Bush because the muzzies had given up the fight long ago and gone home? Anything but. With his being their accomplice, not a single new arrival came there and the terrorism and the fight against it continues unabated.

The cash will be used for jihad long after his death.

With $1.5 million , he probably faked his death with a surrogate….He’s now in London driving a Bentley and picking up chicks.

In addition, I feel he should finish his trek and become a neophyte of Luis Farrakhan.

What is the point of fighting this scum when the Lietards reward them for their service?

Makes one believe the Conspiracy Theorists – The Establishment starts wars to kill people who aren’t a problem, and not kill people who are a problem, and not fight the enemy fighting us – so the Lietards can blame us for the crime of not fighting their allies.

It’s way past time to outlaw Islam and imprison anyone who won’t give it up quietly – and imprison the Lietards and the Establishment collaborators with them.

pipo

This must be the joke of the year, and the year is quite new, Britain gets him out pays him compensation and he blows himself up. I thought the British were not that stupid. The guy was not for nothing in Gitmo. Or was a kind of an experience resort with pick-nick.
